Since Upwork, Inc bought out Odesk.com, things have been going far south. The site is constantly down and many things do not work at various times of the day. This has been happening for quite sometime and we don't see an end to this.
Upwork, Inc has just introduced their new commission policy which costs 20% for the Freelancer to work on the site. This is extremely high compared to all the other websites out there.
Upwork, Inc has also had serious issues with their policies which has resulted in account closures, money theft from Freelancers, etc. Please read the most recent complaints (Starting at 2015) at BBB.org : http://www.bbb.org/losangelessiliconvalley/business-reviews/internet-services/upwork-in-mountain-view-ca-213440/complaints
You can also view multiple issues from many sites: http://www.yelp.com/biz/upwork-mountain-view-2

There has been evidence that Upwork has paid for blog reviews as well as user reviews, especially on TrustPilot.com Any company that does have a review on their facebook page, google social page, pays for blog reviews and constantly trying to hide complaints including on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/upwork/?fref=ts (Read thru comments on page and on posts, there is nothing but issues)
It's quite clear that Upwork, Inc ( Upwork.com ) is unsafe to use, has unethical business practices/policies, buggy site, and is very expensive.
